So I could believe that canoes are responsible for a disproportional
number of deaths, but not kayaks. My hunch is that most kayakers
wear
PFDs, but many canoe users are actually fishing and don't think they
are
at risk.

Although I often wear a PFD while kayaking, I have trouble convincing
my
wife to do so, because we almost always kayak in very protecting
fla****er, often only a few feet deep.

The only difference I see is canoes can carry a bigger cooler so they
may drink more beer. PFD use is spotty for both craft on our river.
The real scary thing is they seem to have no respect for power boats
and assume they are not only seen but will be yielded right of way.
When the power boat is a PWC things can get real dicey since most PWC
drivers refuse to give anyone quarter. They assume they have no wake.

You're supposed to squeeze your cooler in an innertube and tow it
behind your canoe or kayak. That way, the cool river water helps keep
your ice from wasting away and your beer from tasting like Miller Lite.

I like Miller Lite. You like Corona. Beer drinkers make fun Corona.

Pacifico here... too many trips to Mexico! That and Guiness... too many
trips to Ireland!

I rarely drink, but if in MX or a Mexican restaurant it is Negro Modelo.
Dark beer is so much better.

I don't like Mexican dark beer. It just doesn't have the flavor of Guiness.
